RED Workows with Final Cut Pro X

Roundtrip Workow

Using XML

You can edit your R3D RAW project in Final Cut Pro X and color grade it in

DaVinciResolveusingaseamlessXMLworkow.Here’sasummary:

1. ImportREDCODERAW(R3D)lesintoFinalCutProX10.1orlater.

Important: When you import the media, make sure to deselect the “Create optimized

media” and “Create proxy media” options, because any transcoding work done during

import will be discarded if you adjust the RAW settings in the following steps. In

addition, deselect “Import folders as Keyword Collections.” (Because each R3D RAW

leiscontainedinitsownfolder,choosingthisoptionwouldclutteryourlibrarywith

many impractical Keyword Collections.)

2. Adjust the levels of the imported media using the RED RAW Settings controls

in Final Cut Pro X.

3. Syncaudioandvideoles(bychoosingClip>SynchronizeClips).

4. Optionally transcode your media to Apple ProRes (optimized or proxy media).

5. Edit your project in Final Cut Pro X and lock picture.

6. ExportanXMLleoftheprojectfromFinalCutProX.

7. ImporttheXMLleintoDaVinciResolveandcolorgradetheproject(usingeither

This method combines the best of both worlds—the speed of editing with

Apple ProRes on a wide variety of notebook and desktop systems, and the color
